Freakin’ Restart! ARG!
If you’re like me, you hate hate hate it when Windows automatically restarts your computer to install updates. Especially if you usually stay on top of updates and often have about 6 projects open on your computer that are ready and waiting to be destroyed by Windows XP.
Well, fear not good friends. I have researched the solution.
Step 1: go to Start -> Run
Step 2: type gpedit.msc
This will bring you to group policy editor.
Step 3: Go to: Administrative Template/Windows Component/Windows Update
See the “No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic Updates Installations“?
Step 4: Right click on that and go to properties.
Enable, and you’re done.
Badda-Bing. Take that Windows.
